This book provides a thought provoking and comprehensive account of
teenagers' perceptions and experiences of the physical and symbolic
divisions that exist in 'post conflict' Belfast. By examining the
micro-geographies of young people from segregated areas and drawing
attention to the social practices, discourses and networks that
directly or indirectly shape how teenagers make sense of and
negotiate life in Belfast, the book provides a timely response to
the neglect of the experiences of young people growing up in 'post
conflict' societies. The voices of these young people need to be
heard alongside the often partial accounts of young people who live
in communities that have benefitted from the peace process. While
both are part of the 'post conflict' generation how this plays out
in the daily practices and experiences of those who continue to
reside in segregated communities needs to be articulated and
understood before Belfast can truly claim its 'post-conflict'
status. -- .
